Ems Dike (Lathen to Papenburg)

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

Here it always rolls along the dyke. Depending on the wind, there is a tailwind or a headwind. Asphalt is great. Occasionally there are a few faults.

Here you come across the Ems in a very unique way. The "Leher Pünte" is one of two rope-bound ferries across the Ems. It takes you to the other bank for little money from the beginning of May to October.

Timetable:
Sundays and public holidays from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.,
during the holidays also on Saturdays from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m.

You can find more information at leher-puente.de.
